Protect Yourself with a Personal Injury Lawyer

Recent reports show that pedestrian deaths are up across the United States. In Philadelphia specifically, pedestrians and cyclists face a greater risk of traffic fatalities than the national average. Children and the elderly are particularly vulnerable, with 50% of pedestrian accidents occurring between 3-4 PM when children are walking home from school.

Pedestrian accidents can result in multiple injuries, the most common being:

Injuries to lower extremities: An area where pedestrians are frequently hit by motor vehicles is around the legs, knees, or hips. This can result in contusions, broken bones, and ligament/muscle injuries.
Injuries to the upper extremities:Shoulder and arm injuries are another common result of pedestrian accidents, and often occur when people try to protect themselves.
Injuries to the head: The blunt force of a vehicle knocking into a pedestrian or knocking them to the ground can easily lead to skull trauma, resulting in bone fractures or even serious brain injuries. Concussions are especially common following pedestrian accidents and may take months or even years to recover from.
Internal damage: While you may not see it, internal bleeding, as well as organ damage, can easily occur when a pedestrian is hit by a vehicle. These injuries can have dire medical consequences and can lead to amputation or death.

Fortunately, with the right attorney, you’ll be able to argue for compensation commensurate with any injuries you sustained in a pedestrian accident.

In a personal injury suit, a skilled attorney will be able to recover losses stemming from:

Medical costs
Hospital bills
Necessary medication
Physical therapy
Lost wages
Ongoing emotional/physical trauma
Additional pain and suffering

Don’t Let Your Chance Pass You By, Call Marciano & MacAvoy, P.C. Now

If you were injured in a pedestrian accident, you may be tempted to just let your insurance company settle the case. However, it is important you know that insurance companies do not always have your best interests at heart. Most insurance providers will attempt to protect their bottom line at all costs, which means it is not in their best interest to secure maximum compensation on your behalf. Furthermore, the insurance company representing the other party or parties involved in the collision will always try to prove the incident was your fault and attempt to prevent you from securing compensation altogether.

"I have had the privilege of connecting with Kevin Marciano on many matters as an attorney. Additionally, I have referred his firm multiple people who were in need of his services. He has obtained great results for these referred individuals and through the entire process has been very accessible and calming."

"They are experts at what they do and will go to battle for their clients if that's what it takes to get the best outcome. If someone in my family was injured, this is the first place I would turn."

"I would highly recommend anyone within this practice. They are knowledgeable, respectful, and helpful."

"After been paralyzed from the neck down because of a drunk driver, Kevin Marciano was my last hope. Kevin fought very hard for me and kept me advised of every aspect of the case. Because of the settlement, I am living in a home that I purchased rather than in a nursing home. I have some of my life back."

"Kevin and Pat represented me in my fall off a ladder. The money I received will let me live in a place where I can move and get around. Also, while I am still badly injured, I know I will not have to worry about money again."

Kevin and Patrick were amazing to work with and a God send to us in our time of need. They especially had to work even harder during COVID-19 to make a safe way to put our troubles to a smooth and safe finish. They were caring and understanding to our personal situation in the health and well being of our son who was hit by a car. This recommendation was priceless. We are most fortunate that our son's life was spared, but their help to give him back his life will never be forgotten! Thank you Kevin and Patrick and the rest of your team!
